Are you dashing? Are you hot? Then you need the Dashing Hotness Widget!
See the blog post for more details.
This widget is similar to the basic Number widget, except that the entire widget changes colour based on the value displayed. It is designed to draw attention to metrics which need attention.
Good for metrics which are monitored for their 'good' (cold) or 'bad' (hot) status.
Not good for metrics which don't have a pre-determined range, or aren't that important.
From your Dashing Dashboard's directory, use the command:
dashing install 6246149
Include a widget with a data-view
of Hotness
. The widget must include a
data-cool
and data-warm
value to work properly.
<li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
<div data-id="synergy" data-view="Hotness" data-title="Synergy Hotness" data-cool="20" data-warm="90"></div>
</li>
See below for a full list of fields this widget uses.
- data-id: Like all widgets, you must include an identifier so that your jobs can update the value.
- data-cool: Anything below this value will show the 'cold' colour. It should be set high enough to include all the 'good' range of value for this metric.
- data-warm: Anything above this value will show the 'hot' colour. It should be set just below the 'bad' range of value for this metric - ie. those that need attention!
- data-title: Optional title to show in the widget box (above the value).
- data-prefix: Optional prefix to the value.
- data-suffix: Optional suffix to the value.
The default colour scheme is Sweet Lolly by nekyo.
The file SCSS file has an alternative colour scheme which should (I hope!) be colour-blindness friendly (going from blue to yellow) called 400 Lovers by Tzadkiel.
To use this scheme, just uncomment the last 5 lines of the SCSS file

I`ve got another problem.
After the initial load of the Hotness Widget (simple refreshing the browser), most of the the widgets have a black background...they show up the right data (a number), but the background is still black.
After send a curl update to this widgets, they get the right defined background (cool to warm).
Is there perhaps a caching problem ?
I use several Firefox-Versions on Windows / Mac and Chromium on rasp, they all have the same "display"-problem.
Anyone any idea ? Any workarounds ? Thanks !
By the way:
I want to use cyclist to cycle through different dashboards, but it is looking very ugly if the Hotness-Widgets are black...
